History and Why

ShieldGuard is a based on Open Policy Agent (OPA) and heavily inspired by:

We decided to build a new tool based on following reasons:

  1. ShieldGuard aims to provide a unified way to write checks using vanilla Rego language. This means you can reuse the checks without the need to depend on ShieldGuard itself;
  2. ShieldGuard makes policy and check documentation as first-class citizen: it provides a convention approach for writing, organizing and referencing the documentations alongside with the policies;
  3. ShieldGuard exposes itself via a modular types and packages, which enables further composition and building new tools easily.
